8 General Assembly Consists of everyone Researchers use it to measure how much states have in common
9 A Big But GA s votes are (mostly) non-binding Bid for Palestinian statehood passed (41 abstentions) But this only made Palestine equal to the Vatican
10 Security Council This is where the action is at! Anything important must go through the UNSC So we re going to focus on it

17 Calculating Preferences UNGA votes are on the public record We can track these votes to create a left-right spectrum just like in domestic politics Right: Loves the liberal order Left: Not so much

19 USSR USA UK 1962
20 USSR USA Syria 1988
21 Russia USA Cuba New Zealand Japan 1992

25 Other Fun Facts Most Agreeable (tie): Chile and Dominican Republic, 67 yeas (out of 68) Dr. No Award: United States, 45 nays Honey badger award for not giving a [darn]: Cameroon, 24 abstentions Most Confusing: Nauru
26 Key Takeaway State preferences are not identical Seems obvious, but IR scholars believed for decades that all states were essentially identical except for size and power
27 Outline Overview General Assembly voting Veto power UNSC strategic voting UNSC bribery Rally round the flag effects
28 UNSC Voting Rules Nine affirmative votes needed to pass a resolution Five permanent members all have veto power The votes could be 14-1 and still fail if the 1 is the United States This happens on resolutions involving Israel Abstentions allowed A 14-0 vote passes the resolution
29
30 Why Veto Power? The permanent members are all really strong militarily For the UNSC to continue to exist, the militarily strong actors have to get their way
31 Why Veto Power? The permanent members are all really strong militarily. For the UNSC to continue to exist, the militarily strong actors have to get their way. Otherwise, they would yell screw the rules and leave the building immediately. This happens anyway. (Think Iraq in 2003.)
32 Trivia Time! UNSC Resolution 82 authorized a United Nations intervention in the Korean War. Why didn t the Soviet Union exercise its veto power? a) The USSR believed that Kim il-sung was corrupt. b) The USSR didn t understand that its veto power prevented the UNSC from becoming the United States puppet. c) The Soviet ambassador was an American spy. d) The Soviet ambassador was hung over, got up late, and missed the vote due to New York City traffic.

35 (Which) China(?) China won World War II, but was a gigantic mess Chinese Civil War started in 1927 and didn t finish until 1950
36 (Which) China(?) China s permanent seat went to the Republic of China (ROC) in 1945 But ROC retreated to Taiwan in 1950
37 (Which) China(?) Soviet Union thought the People s Republic of China (PRC) the winner of the war should win the seat U.S. didn t care. And they have veto power!
38 We re boycotting!
39 We re boycotting! Cool story, bro!
40 Worst. Plan. Ever. U.S. starts proposing hugely pro-american resolutions The UNSC does its bidding
41 Worst. Plan. Ever. U.S. starts proposing hugely pro-american resolutions The UNSC does its bidding Soviet Union realizes its mistake and ends its boycott after eight months
42 Membership Permanent Members (Original)
43 Membership Permanent Members (Nixon Goes to China, 1971)
44 Membership Permanent Members (Soviet Union splits, 1991)
45
46 By the Numbers Cold War ( ): 687 resolutions Post Cold War (1990-today): 1500 resolutions Twice the resolutions in about half the time!
47 Outline Overview General Assembly voting Veto power UNSC strategic voting UNSC bribery Rally round the flag effects
48 Trivia Time! In discussing the current civil war in Syria, China often mentions the disastrous UNSCR 1973, which authorized military action against Libya. How did China vote on 1973? a) Yes. b) No. c) Abstain. d) The Chinese ambassador was hung over, got up late, and missed the vote due to New York City traffic.
49 Why? 1. China made a mistake. 2. Something more nefarious is going on.
50 Insincere Voting UNSC members must consider the effects of a yes vote versus a no vote Tacit approval of a resolution may be better than no resolution
51 Benefits of a Resolution Having UNSC authorization leads to more inclusive alliances and cheaper costs to fight
52 Benefits of a Resolution Having UNSC authorization leads to more inclusive alliances and cheaper costs to fight But this often comes at the cost of scope UNSC authorized action may be limited
53 Quick Definition Outside option: the best available plan of action if the primary option fails to work
54 When Outside Options Are Good United States 1. UNSC authorized action (cheaper, even if more limited) 2. Unilateral action (more expensive, but still worthwhile) 3. No action China 1. No action 2. UNSC authorized action (limited in scope) 3. Unilateral American action (broad in scope)
55 Approve Veto Go No Action Go Alone No Action
56 Veto Go Alone No Action
57 When Outside Options Are Good United States 1. UNSC authorized action (cheaper, even if more limited) 2. Unilateral action (more expensive, but still worthwhile) 3. No action China 1. No action 2. UNSC authorized action (limited in scope) 3. Unilateral American action (broad in scope)
58 Veto Go Alone
59 Approve Go No Action
60 When Outside Options Are Good United States 1. UNSC authorized action (cheaper, even if more limited) 2. Unilateral action (more expensive, but still worthwhile) 3. No action China 1. No action 2. UNSC authorized action (limited in scope) 3. Unilateral American action (broad in scope)
61 Go Approve
62 Approve Veto Go Go Alone
63 When Outside Options Are Good United States 1. UNSC authorized action (cheaper, even if more limited) 2. Unilateral action (more expensive, but still worthwhile) 3. No action China 1. No action 2. UNSC authorized action (limited in scope) 3. Unilateral American action (broad in scope)
64 Go Approve
65 Insincere Voting China votes insincerely! Vetoing the proposal causes the U.S. to take more extreme action Tacit approval is better
66 When Outside Options Are Bad United States 1. UNSC authorized action (cheaper, even if more limited) 2. No action 3. Unilateral action (more expensive, but still worthwhile) China 1. No action 2. UNSC authorized action (limited in scope) 3. Unilateral American action (broad in scope)
67 Approve Veto Go No Action Go Alone No Action
68 Veto Go Alone No Action
69 When Outside Options Are Bad United States 1. UNSC authorized action (cheaper, even if more limited) 2. No action 3. Unilateral action (more expensive, but still worthwhile) China 1. No action 2. UNSC authorized action (limited in scope) 3. Unilateral American action (broad in scope)
70 Veto No Action
71 Approve Go No Action
72 When Outside Options Are Bad United States 1. UNSC authorized action (cheaper, even if more limited) 2. No action 3. Unilateral action (more expensive, but still worthwhile) China 1. No action 2. UNSC authorized action (limited in scope) 3. Unilateral American action (broad in scope)
73 Go Approve
74 Approve Veto Go No Action
75 When Outside Options Are Bad United States 1. UNSC authorized action (cheaper, even if more limited) 2. No action 3. Unilateral action (more expensive, but still worthwhile) China 1. No action 2. UNSC authorized action (limited in scope) 3. Unilateral American action (broad in scope)
76 Veto No Action
77 Outside Options Matter When U.S. s outside options are bad, China votes sincerely When they are good, China votes insincerely
78 Outline Overview General Assembly voting Veto power UNSC strategic voting UNSC bribery Rally round the flag effects
79 Unanimity Most UNSC resolutions have unanimous support For resolutions , all but nine passed
80 Why? 1. States just love to get along 2. Resolutions only get brought up to vote if they will pass unanimously 3. Something more nefarious is going on
81 Bribery! How much does U.S. foreign aid increase when a state serves a two-year term on the Security Council?
82 Bribery! How much does U.S. foreign aid increase when a state serves a two-year term on the Security Council? 59%!
83 The Primary Theory States do not feel too strongly about most issues on the docket The United States bribes the non-permanent members for their support
84 Potential Objections Correlation does not imply causation There is ongoing debate on whether the United States is truly bribing members
85 The Bribery-Lite Theory Cash exchanges aren t bribes but rather an expression of gratitude from the United States
86 The More Nuanced Argument The U.S. rarely punishes for non-compliance The bribes are just payments hoping to buy goodwill
87 The Counter Argument Being on the Security Council makes your needs more salient, and thus aid increases benignly
88 The Counter Argument Being more active in the international community both makes serving on the Security Council more likely and increases foreign aid
89 The Everything Argument These theories are not mutually exclusive Even if bribery does occur, the 59% figure vastly inflates the actual effect
90 Outline Overview General Assembly voting Veto power UNSC strategic voting UNSC bribery Rally round the flag effects
91 Rally Round the Flag The tendency for leaders approval ratings to shoot up during a time of crisis
92
93 Dilemma Citizens want to support their leaders during crises when it is in the national interest But this is prone to abuse! Principal-agent problem!
94 Information Asymmetries National leaders know whether a crisis is legitimate Citizens do not have access to that intelligence and are thus in the dark
95 Role of the UNSC Other states on the UNSC don t suffer from this information asymmetry Thus, they provide third-party verification of the authenticity of the crisis
96 UNSC Vote Vote yes? Crisis is real Vote no? 1. Crisis is a sham 2. Crisis is real but other countries are biased
97 Theory in Practice Controlling for other factors, presidents under crisis receive 9% greater rallies with UNSC support than without
